    I bought the 2012 ford focus sel on november 18th 2011 and first recall was jan 02 2012 they reprogrammed the transmission and there was a 2nd recall and the reprogrammed the transmission again but im still having hesitation on startups and loses power as well but hasn't stalled yet but i thought few times it will stall out but it didn't. I hope ford can fix the hesitation of this vehicle but if not then i will…
